    Qantas is sorry (again)

    I sent in a complaint to QF when this happened to me a few years ago. I actually got a response saying this shouldn't have been the case, though they didn't proactively offer it, it should have been provided when requested, which on other occasions it had been - lazy cabin crew me thinks.

    What cheeses me off

    It's not about FB wanting to access all your photos, it's telling your phone that FB is allowed to access where you keep your photos. Subtle but different. Not FB overstepping a boundary just the way phone security works and no different to how a PC manages security really.

    New controversial work travel policy

    then you get in to the situation of those who can't afford the extra get stuffed. Non-attendance has to be the alternative option - ie the event becomes optional if the organization can't provide adequate/reasonable accommodation (I've worked my career at an MNC so know this is all rather...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    I don't know, if I could have fruit, a Danish, a bowl of cereal and a bacon and egg roll for my breakfast I'd consider it a reasonable offering. Alas I know that's not how QF's thinking works but that shows how far off the mark they are.

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    But if you're a J traveller and intend to always be one, then there's not much value in LTG in the first place. You might as well refrain from the chase and travel on your airline of choice.

    B789 - worst ever Qantas economy long haul Seats

    In what way? It has the same J seat as the A380 and I'm sure you're no further back than that 😉.

    B789 - worst ever Qantas economy long haul Seats

    Yet a tape measure would show the a380 seat is wider than the 787 but has less legroom.

    Running a business from home

    Home and contents insurance - inform your insurer of the business operating out of your home. Your policy probably require you to tell them and it may well have consequences - people visiting the premises is the challenge. There have been recent examples of insurers refusing to pay out due to...

    Qantas Neighbour Free seating: Worth paying for?

    Then QF might sell the free seat to a third passenger and move the non-paying pax elsewhere "for operational reasons".

    Should frequent flyer status be easier or harder to earn?

    A bit of an oxymoron under Australian tax regime.

    What cheeses me off

    potentially a misinterpretation as well. Credit cards cost the merchant in ways other forms of payment don't. Australian merchants can just now add their fees to accept and pass through credit cards costs where perhaps other countries still don't allow that?

    What cheeses me off

    There's a fundamental difference between using a credit card to buy something and refinancing or redrawing, or borrowing on a loan. You're not talking about the same thing. Credit cards agree upfront there's no interest if you pay by the due date whereas a loan you've agreed to pay a fee...

    Jetstar removes the 787 from the Melbourne to Bali

    Perhaps they do. Replacing 737s with A32x has to be a step forward when they roll through the domestic fleet. Internationally, just fly with someone else!

    British Airways Moves Frequent Flyer Earn to Revenue Model

    Neither frequent flyer or loyalty anymore. Just a private currency that can be earned almost anywhere and burned almost anywhere and the airline just clips the ticket on every transaction.

    Why don't governments put up taxes instead of interest rates?

    But there in lies the dilemma on how retirement is funded, particularly when such properties are held in instruments related to super. It's always the problem that no one knows how long they will live for, but certain incentives for retirement saving should come with an expectation that they are...

    Why don't governments put up taxes instead of interest rates?

    But that's why when rates are rising you might fix the bit you know you don't have any hope of paying off and maintain a variable proportion with offset and early repayment opportunity to get ahead as far as you can
